Trim assembly for a vehicle

Abstract

A trim assembly having at least a first trim part fora vehicle, wherein the trim assembly is connected to an undercarriage of the vehicle via a bearing device, and wherein in order to create advantageous design conditions, the bearing device includes at least a first bearing, a second bearing and a third bearing, which are each connected to at least one component coupled to a first wheelset or a first wheelset bearing system of the undercarriage, the at least first trim part is mounted in an articulated manner with respect to a first bearing transverse axis of the undercarriage via the at least first bearing, and the at least first trim part is mounted with mechanical decoupling with respect to directions of motion parallel to an undercarriage longitudinal plane via the second bearing and the third hearing such that mechanical loads acting on the trim assembly are thereby reduced.

The invention claimed is: 
     
       1. A trim assembly comprising:
 at least one first trim part for a vehicle; and 
 a bearing device via which said trim assembly is connected to an undercarriage of the vehicle; 
 wherein the bearing device includes at least a first bearing, a second bearing and a third bearing, which are each connected to at least one component coupled to one of (i) a first wheelset and (ii) a first wheelset bearing system of the undercarriage; 
 wherein the at least one first trim part is mounted at an outer end along a longitudinal plane of an undercarriage in an articulated manner with respect to a first bearing transverse axis of the undercarriage via the at least first bearing; and 
 wherein the at least first trim part is mounted with mechanical decoupling with respect to directions of motion parallel to an undercarriage longitudinal plane via the second bearing and third bearings. 
 
     
     
       2. The trim assembly as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the at least first bearing includes at least one first clamp via which the at least first trim part is connected to a first roll stabilizer of the undercarriage. 
     
     
       3. The trim assembly as claimed in  claim 2 , wherein the second and third bearings are formed as traction-pressure rods. 
     
     
       4. The trim assembly as claimed in  claim 2 , wherein the second and third bearings are formed as wire cable dampers. 
     
     
       5. The trim assembly as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the second and the third bearings are formed as traction-pressure rods. 
     
     
       6. The trim assembly as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the second and third bearings are formed as wire cable dampers. 
     
     
       7. The trim assembly as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the second and third bearings are connected to a first drive unit of the undercarriage. 
     
     
       8. The trim assembly as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the second bearing is connected to a first wheelset bearing housing of the undercarriage and the third bearing is connected to a second wheelset bearing housing of the undercarriage. 
     
     
       9. The trim assembly as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the at least one first trim part is mounted with mechanical decoupling in a direction of an undercarriage longitudinal axis via the second and third bearings. 
     
     
       10. The trim assembly as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein only the at least one first trim part has reinforcing ribs which extend approximately in a direction of a trim longitudinal axis. 
     
     
       11. An internally mounted undercarriage having the trim assembly as claimed in  claim 1 .
